Help needed !!

[ECE Webmaster <we...@ece.ufl.edu>]

Hi ,

I am having a problem with an application that I am running on an 
Apache server. It says that it is unable to load the script. I have 
chmod all things to 777.
My application is at http://www.ece.ufl.edu/COE/pages/chat/chatmain.html

Thanks a ton
Mandeep

You should look in error_log. It'll tell you everything you wanted to know and 
more.

Please spend some time reading this document:

That doesn't say very much.  Unless this is an invitation to test out
whether you're keeping up with security patches, I'd suggest that your
mod_perl server conf chunks would be more informative.  Further, changing
permissions to 777 is really dangerous, especially on a university server.
 And you're the webmaster?

Read man pages, check which user apache is running under, where your
scripts are loaded from, loads of stuff, which no could really enlighten
you on, until you provide real conf files.

Yours,

bored and brain dead.

Need more info.

What version of Apache / mod_perl are you running?

What is the conf file (at least the relevant sections)?

What is the directory structure?

What are the files you are trying to run?

Chmod everything to 775 or 755. 777 is plain stupid.
